Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Friday, 24. June 2022
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While betting on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
